Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

02

Step
1 mins

Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

03

Step
3 mins

Add the diced zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.

04

Step
5 mins

Stir in the tomato paste and diced tomato. Season with herbes de Provence, salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook until the tomatoes have softened and released their juices, about 5 minutes.

05

Step
1 mins

Stir in the chopped fresh basil. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh basil, if desired.

For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs, such as oregano or thyme, to customize the flavor profile.
This dish is best when the zucchini and tomatoes are fresh and in season.

    I didn't have fresh basil, so I used dried. It was still really good, but I'll definitely use fresh next time.
